The cool water lapped at the feet of the female wolf as she began to wade into the quick waters. She was still shook up after a near-drowning experience and washing up on the shores of an unknown island. She was strong, just like her brothers and her father had taught her to be. (God bless their souls.) She lowered her head to take a drink, but the hunger and the dehydration was getting to her, and she lost her balance. With the current being strong, her whole body submerged in the shallows, soaking the female.

Frustrated, she tried to stand up again. She planted her paws into the soft bed of the stream and heaved her body upwards. She was not raised to be a quitter. The fact that her coat was thinner than most Tundra wolves and her being soaking wet, the quiet breeze froze her to the bone. A single shiver was sent down her spine and a sigh escaped from her maw. Silently cursing, she tried again to get a drink of water. This time, she was successful.

An unfamiliar scent wafted through the breeze as she lifted her head from the pleasing drink. The scent was that of wolf, but of an unknown wolf. If another wolf was nearby, she would surely be killed for trespassing, and she was in no state for an altercation at this point in time. Her mind wandered back to the times of when she had a home and a pack. 'Maybe this could be the right time and place for me to find another home?' she though.

The scent of wolf grew stronger and stronger as she neared the bank of the stream. She felt bad for intruding on an unknown territory that belonged to someone. So she mustered all of her remaining strength, and let go a beautiful howl that echoed throughout the area. The howl lasted momentarily, but the echo went on. The echo hinted at loneliness, and disparity. Hopefully someone would hear it and come to her aid.

His encounter with the wolf named Angel had opened his eyes, though he still had nightmares about that day. His attack on the harmless female had made him finally realize how much of a monster he had become. It also made him realize that he needed to change his ways before he did something that he would truly regret. He had come close to getting the urge to kill the ivory female, but whatever will he had prevented that, leaving the she-wolf with some minor scratches. Since this was a big step for him, he wasn’t sure how to go about with it. The speckled alpha began to ponder about how to go about his change. One thing he really needed to do was make friends, especially with his pack mates. A pack was like a big family but that wouldn’t be possible if the alpha wasn’t able to hold the pack together due to his bitterness. So he decided that the first thing on his mental list was to try and become friends with his fellow pack mates, or pack mate since Widow was still the only other member.

Just then, a howl interrupted his chain of thought. Due to his home being in a cave, just about every noise echoed which made it difficult sometimes to figure out the location the noise’s origin. However, Severus was in the deeper part of Aleru where the pack slept, so the only option he had was to head towards the entrance to the cave. The Tundra wolf took off at a light trot, being careful to not lose his footing on the slippery ground. As he progressed, he was able to catch the scent of whomever the howl belonged to. Once the scent was strong, he was able to see the outline of the wolf.

A soaked she-wolf stood alongside the Waters of Ongar. Her fur appeared to be wet for it clung to her skin. “She must have fallen in,” he thought to himself. The thought hit him that this would be a good time to start his change. He approached the she-wolf carefully and stopped when he was a few feet away from her. His tail wagged slightly and a smile placed itself on his maw. “My name of Severus and I’m the alpha of Ultoris. What bring you to Aleru,” he said in a friendly tone.

Her eyesight was slowly fading as her footing was giving out beneath her. The cool water was rising on her falling body as her breaths were becoming slower and shorter. The weight of the world was just collapsing on her body and taking it's toll on her. She was so very weak, and felt like the life was slipping away from her soul. The scent of wolf was growing stronger and stronger, and finally, a seemingly familiar figure was approaching her. 

She raised her head enough to speak. A tundra wolf was standing in front of her and speaking. When he had finished, she blinked, sighed, and asked, "Father?" She looked at the male Tundra in the eyes, searching his soul for something. Her head became too heavy for her to hold up, and the water began to lap at her maw. "Help me, father." Her amber eyes began to roll back into her head, but the breath kept escaping from her body. It was like her soul could leave the physical world at any moment.

The thoughts were swirling around in her head and she couldn't keep track of all the memories. It was like her life was flashing before her closed eyes. 'Her father and her brothers were standing in front of her, wagging their tales. "Welcome, sister. We miss you. Come join us?" They approached her and surrounded her with their warmth, revealing a wonderful clearing that was similar to their home. The battle had destroyed it all. All of a sudden, the battle scene unfolded before her. She relived the brutal murder of the men she loved, and the saddening times on the boat to this unknown land. She washed up on the shore once more, greeted by the mangled bodies of her family. "We will always be with you. It's not your time. Please stay strong, and live. Live for us. Carry on our legacy. You have royal blood and you are a warrior; a fighter. Live, Adsila. Live." The images slowly faded and reality was setting in.'
